Micro Shows presented by The Current and New Belgium Brewing Company featuring Frank Turner is taking place this Thursday at 4pm (note time, because there is another event in the evening). Tickets are not available to the public, the only way to get into the show to win a ticket from local radio station 89.3 The Current. With that said, expect this to be a nice intimate show. If you’re over the age of 21, you’ll also get the opportunity to taste New Belgium brewery’s latest offering “Citradelic Tangerine IPA”.

We previously caught Turner in October and described the show as completely personal, “The second Frank Turner got on stage the sold out crowd seemed to fade away and it felt like it was Frank singing just to me. It seemed like every song he sang was written for me.”

The British singer-songwriter recently released of his Ten For Ten on Xtra Mile Recordings. Ten For Ten was originally released as a 12" companion piece to Turner’s The First Ten Years boxed set from 2015.

Opening up was Midnight Reruns, from Milwaukee. The band played a few tracks from their self-titled 2013 debut album, but was also happy to preview some new tracks that Tommy Stinson produced. The upcoming record will come out in October. …

Hope everyone is having a cozy winter. February is coming to a close which means that Spring is right around the corner. To celebrate we've got a killer bill lined up for y'all on Friday, February 26th at The Triple Rock Social Club with two of our favorite local bands that we haven't yet had a chance to play with, Al Church, and Strange Relations. Along with some killer tunes from DJ Dos Besos this promises to be the perfect show to shake off the winter doldrums. We'll see you there!
